How to get there

Transport
Car, Boat
Access
Medium walk

Many flights landing at Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport(30 km away). From here south to San Teodoro and get to the beach north of San Teodoro. During summer you can take a boat to cross the lagoon. It brings you close to the kite zone, and when there are more kiters, it drops you directly at the kite zone. The boat leaves from Pischera, behind the north of the beach. 4 Euro per person both ways. It leaves from about 8:00 to 13:30 and 15:00 to 20:00.

Extra information

Rules
Time

From June to mid-September you cannot ride in the south part of the beach. Drive about 1.7 km further north to the surf area. There is a channel marked with buoys where you get into the water. Ride outside the furthest buoys to protect the swimmers. Do not ride on the lagoon, which is a natural reserve and you will get fined.

Nightlife

San Teodoro has 3 nightclubs which are the most famous on the east coast of Sardinia.
